Norwegian Cruise Line will upgrade its fourth Breakaway-class ship, Norwegian Encore, with the expansion of two of the brand’s most popular eateries to elevate the guest experience.
Following a two-week dry dock from 18 Nov to 02 Dec, the ship godmothered by Kelly Clarkson will emerge with a much larger Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki ready to delight guests with flavour.
The restaurants will take over space previously occupied by the Los Lobos Mexican restaurant on deck eight and the Coco’s milkshake bar on deck six. The result will be greater capacity for Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki to ensure more guests have the chance to savour the experience while onboard.
In addition, the Ocean Blue seafood restaurant will be converted into the Mediterranean inspired Palomar.
Norwegian Cruise Line President, David J Herrera, said the needs and wants of guests are at the forefront of every decision the line makes, with the changes exemplifying this.
“From more space for adults to relax, to more opportunities to enjoy their favourite dining options and beyond, we are dedicated to providing our guests with an elevated onboard experience as part of their dream vacation,” Herrera said.
Outside of dining, guests 18 years and over will also have a new Spice H20 retreat to relax to the side of the main pool deck.
The lounge will feature a new design by combining the popular amenities found on the larger Breakaway-Plus class with the Infinity Beach concept found on the line’s newest ships Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
Elsewhere on the ship, the dry dock refurbishment will see 24 new balcony staterooms added and redesigned suites in The Haven, including a change from two bedrooms to three in the luxurious Premier Owner’s Suite and a renovated living room.
